Now THATS more like it!

Man those "crisscross" pattern on the seat sides and sides of the back makes the seat look old/VERY used.

The K9/K900 is already on this level of luxury (in some ways surpassing the G90).

Note how the center console is wrapped in leather w/ a padded area for the knee.

Don't think there's much that Kia needs to do to the interior when the K9/K900 gets its F/L, but the underwhelming sheetmetal could use a major overhaul.

Otoh, would be great if the Stinger's interior would be even 60-70% of the K9/K900's interior when it comes to luxury.

Man, that Kia logo on the steering wheel cover looks so out of place in an interior this premium; and look how much more premium the cover looks than for the one in the Stinger.




There will likely be a more performance-oriented variant later on (remains to be seen if will remain being called the Sport or something else).

Interesting!!

They did a very nice job on getting their own look together, starting with the recently released GV80. The overall look is great, in my eyes. The dash area is uncluttered and simply laid out. KIA needs to take the K9 to this level of luxury. Love it. Here is an english walk around video:

I want one so bad, it’s a shame I just bought a stinger and was just laid off because of the Chinese virus. Shit.

You sure it's not just an April fool's day "news?"

No

That makes me sad.

It's difficult to tell if articles like this are based on that same original post, or if they really do know something that we don't...

Genesis Has Great News About The 2021 G80

Only until 2024: Genesis Gets Its Dealers In Order As Brand Prepares Broader Product Portfolio

but with everything going on right now, who knows anymore. All plans up in the air now I imagine

That's an old article which reflects the original, but abandoned plan for around 100-120 dealerships.

Genesis had to open up the ability to obtain a Genesis store and cannot force them to build out a separate store.

Those that are planning on it are doing so on their own accord.

Then I haven’t kept up with the news. Thanks for the correction

It looks more like a town's car to me or a car you would see in a limo fleet. The 2.5 at 300 horsepower sounds very impressive though.

No problem...

I'm very interested in the G80. If I can lease one for a reasonable price I might go for it. But the new G70 might be interesting, too.

I want Stinger with G80 interior.

 

[Weareblondi]

is it just me or does the g80 remind you of an audi/merc cls mixed together? as for the g70, I prefer my stinger because it doesn't look like many cars out there. yes, there is some Maserati in there and Porsche, but the g70 looks like a 3 series from the 3/4 rear view and the front is very non-descript. but I had read somewhere that the next gen stinger engine will be in the 400-450 range, but not the 3.5

Yeah, the current G70 is somewhat bland-looking, but if the restyle picks up on some of the new G80's cues, it might be a looker.

 

[Weareblondi]

it still is a sharp looking car though

 

[Silvermanor]

2021 Stinger looks like it'll have the 3.5l and be good for at least 400hp.

Doubt 400hp. This is a mid cycle refresh coming up. Think incremental power improvement. More like 375 or 380. 35hp jump is more likely a redesign jump in power.

I want my Stinger with a G80 Sport engine.





This Is the equivalent G70 interior and it is just too much of a light interior.
